Event Tags is a simple, lightweight plugin that displays text labels above map events.
Originally designed as a development tool for quickly identifying and debugging events, it’s also useful for adding visual markers to special events in your finished game.

Features

• Display custom text labels above any event

• Super simple setup using note tags

• Optional floating animation

• Fully customizable appearance (color, size, background)

• Zero performance impact

• Works automatically on all maps

• Compatible with RPG Maker MZ

Adding Tags to Events

1. Open any event in the Event Editor

2. In the Note field, add:

<tag:Your Text Here> 

Examples

<tag:shop> <tag:quest giver=""> <tag:minigame> <tag:save point=""> <tag:todo: fix="" this=""> <tag:boss trigger=""> <tag:chest -="" unlocked="">  </tag:chest></tag:boss></tag:todo:></tag:save></tag:minigame></tag:quest></tag:shop>

The tag will automatically appear above the event when you test your game.
